CASE HISTORY
Carriage House Restaurant
The prospect was a department store restaurant. They wanted to increase traffic and were interested in using a premium, but they told their sales representative that “they had no money”. To overcome this objection the sales rep suggested that the restaurants’ vendors participate in the program. After contacting the brands the restaurant uses, funding was received from SANKA and Jell-O. The money allowed the sale to be made.

Tapping Into Co-op
Funds
Getting co-op funds allows you to
get a third party to pay for some or
all of the cost of the promotional
product you are selling.
You become much more than a
“vendor” as you can “show your
client” the money and source(s) of
funding .
The ART of Phone
Good morning Mr. Johnson:
Knowing you are a person who wants to increase sales and profits, I need about 5 minutes of your time to show you how my agency can help you increase sales and customer loyalty and it may not even cost you a penny to accomplish this goal. Our agency specializes in maximizing the use of your coop funds and we suspect you may let some funding go to waste, or may do a better job with what we need to present.
How about Tuesday at 9:00 or Wednesday at 4:30?”

CO-OP DOLLAR USE BY MEDIUM
TRENDING
Of over 1,000 co-op programs listed in the Local Search Association's database (representing
over 1,700 brands), only 223 permit limited forms of digital advertising, generally search and
display. Several explicitly forbid co-op dollars from flowing into digital channels, despite
hockey-stick growth in local search, advertising, targeting, daily deal and coupon sites, etc. (and
local is, of course, the bread and butter of retailer-focused co-op programs).
A 2012 study by Borrell Associates estimates the online co-op market currently makes $1.7
billion available, with $450 million of that left on the table "for lack of participation." Couple
this with the majority of co-op programs that limit or preclude allocating spend to digital
channels, and the potential value of this market could very quickly exceed $5 to $10 billion per
year. This is roughly double 2011's online retail spend of $7.1 billion (IAB/PwC).
But – They Are Spending It On Digital

DEFINITION
CO-OP ADVERTISING
CO-OP MONEY PAYS FOR A PEN
A tire shop purchases pens to distribute to fleet
managers. The barrel has their imprint while the
cap has the tire manufacturer’s imprint.
1000 pens @ $2.00 each = $ 2,000
(- )Manufacturer pays 60% = $ 1,200
Store pays 40% = $ 800
